In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don’t give up
‘cos you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we’d be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
’cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up
Got to walk out of here
I can’t take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river’s flowing
That river’s flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don’t give up
’cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up now
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know its never been easy
Don’t give up
’cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place where we belong
Prevod pesme
Ne odustaj
U ovoj ponosnoj zemlji odrasli smo jaki
Oduvek smo bili željeni
Učili su me da se borim, učili da pobeđujem
Nikada nisam pomislio da je moguće da ne uspem
Nemam više za šta da se borim, ili bar tako deluje
Ja sam čovek koga su napustili svi snovi
Promenio sam izgled, promenio ime
Ali nikom ne trebaš kad si gubitnik
Ne odustaj
jer imaš prijatelje
Ne odustaj
Još nisi poražen
Ne odustaj
Znam da ćeš uspeti
Iako sam to svud oko sebe video
Nikad mi na pamet nije padalo da će to mene pogoditi
Mislio sam da ćemo mi poslednji ostati
Baš čudno kako stvari na kraju ispadnu
Te noći sam vozio kući
Do tog mesta gde sam rođen, kraj jezera
Kako je svitalo, video sam zemlju
Drva su izgorela do temelja
Ne odustaj
I dalje imaš nas
Ne odustaj
Nama ne treba mnogo
Ne odustaj
jer negde na svetu postoji mesto
gde mi pripadamo
Odmori mozak
Previše brineš
Sve će biti u redu
Kad dođu teška vremena
Možeš se osloniti na nas
Ne odustaj
Molim te, ne odustaj
Moram otići odavde
Ne mogu to više da podnesem
Staću na taj most
Fiksirati pogled nadole
Šta god bilo
I šta god prošlo
Ta reka teče
Ta reka teče
Preselio sam se u drugi grad
Trudio se da se skrasim
Na svaki posao, toliko ljudi
Toliko ljudi koji nikom ne trebaju
Ne odustaj
jer imaš prijatelje
Ne odustaj
Nisi jedini
Ne odustaj
Nema razloga za stid
Ne odustaj
Još uvek imaš nas
Nemoj sad odustati
Mi smo na tebe ponosni
Ne odustaj
Znaš da nikad nije lako
Ne odustaj
Zato što verujem da negde na svetu
Postoji mesto gde mi pripadamo
